WHEN I was married, all sorts of men fancied me.

I had guys at my old job asking me out and making saucy suggestions.

Even my ex-brotherin-law made it very clear that he was up for sex if I was.

But since my divorce I’m lonelier than I’ve ever been. My admirers have evaporated into thin air.

My ex-brother-inlaw claims he was only joking while my male friends are terrified of being alone with me.

They’re worried that their wives and girlfriends will get jealous.

I’ve been single for a year and assumed that I’d be in a new relationship by now.

I’m convinced couples now view me as everything from a predator to an embarrassment.

I’m no husband thief. How did it come to this?

JANE SAYS: I worry you took the flirty teasing of male colleagues a tad too seriously.

I hope that you divorced for all the right reasons and not simply because you felt the grass was greener on the other side.

Ultimately, you have to accept that this is a totally new beginning.

Take your time regarding romance.

If you’ve always fancied a change of career or a trip to the other side of the world, then go for it because you’ll meet a whole new set of people along the way.

Shun those insecure couples while you get on with the business of living again.
